Which cards to export
Choose a wide card such as cinematic, hacker, avatar-card, social-card, article-card, or docs-card. Open the SVG URL in a browser and export it to PNG before uploading it to LinkedIn.
LinkedIn header banner
LinkedIn headers are 1584×396. Our cards are 800×400 — close to the right aspect ratio but not pixel-matched. Export at 2× resolution, then crop the PNG to LinkedIn’s banner ratio. SVG remains crisp at any export size.
Featured posts
When you post on LinkedIn with an image attached, the image is the hero. A clean, dev-flavored cinematic card outperforms a generic stock photo every time. Use the `article-card` endpoint with your post title — `?title=...&excerpt=...&author=yourname&theme=dark`. Save the PNG, upload to LinkedIn, paste your text. Done.
Profile photo and banner together
If you want a coherent look, use `avatar-card` for your About section image and `social-card` for your banner. Both will pull your real GitHub avatar via `https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/{username}` so the visual identity matches everywhere.
Why not animate?
LinkedIn supports GIF in some surfaces but not in the banner or About section. Save animations for your GitHub profile README. For LinkedIn, lean into static PNG — cleaner, more recruiter-friendly, easier to thumbnail.
